well belive it or not Joe Biden is the vp-elect now and yes he has loose lips as we have all seen. As far as i see it Biden is now in a bigger spot light so he might want to watch his mouth

ILC,

But he doesn’t lobby his father. He lobbies his fathers office. Yes, that is how the Obama camp is actually spinning it. Audacity indeed.

Bidenâ€™s income - he may be the poorest Senator we have or close to it, his net worth is less than mine

Then Biden must be an extraordinarily poor financial manager. Here is Ed Morrissey on Biden's extensive lobbying ties. Biden's son's firm, apparently, makes money lobbying his father.

Seems like Obama has picked the liberal-version of Dick Cheney

Biden is much closer to the charicature of Cheney that liberals have invented than Cheney is.

#28 right on the money live wire….not a whole lot of backflips going on. I like watching MSNBC trying really hard to make this out to be a fabulous pick, hehe.

“Speaking of elitists, he and his wife Jill are very wealthy, prominent Delware people. My guess is Jill is not to thrilled to have to endure Michelle. Do not expect to see much togetherness from Jill.
However, he can probably raise some money in Delaware.”

You might want to check out Biden’s income – he may be the poorest Senator we have or close to it, his net worth is less than mine, or so it appears.

I don’t see the Biden pick as doing a lot of good for Obama. He doesn’t bring a state or a group of voters into the fold, he doesn’t kindle enthusiasm among the faithful; about all he does as Veep is claim to be Obama’s backstop on foreign policy… which just highlights how inexperienced and unready Obama really is. Barry could’ve done worse- Hillary would’ve been a monumental disaster- but he could’ve done much better too.

I’m just tired of hearing about how this is suppose to help Obama get Hillary voters….if Obama wanted Hillary voters so bad then he should have picked Hillary Clinton. I personally don’t see why if you wanted Hillary that Biden would be a good substitute, considering Hillary has been a domestic policy champion and figure…not a foreign policy buff. And women seem to be left out again in this race unless McCain picks a qualified female canidate….one can hope.

Slow Joe Plugs Biden – arrogant, boorish, bright, clean and articulate, serial-plagiarizing, Dunkin-Donut-frequenting, elitist, grandstanding, narcissistic, mean-spirited, cerebral welterweight and consummate DC insider. What was BO thinking?

Sean, you are right on this one.

Obama himself if racist–he said blacks should take responsibility for his children–so it’s no wonder he picked a racist.

During Biden’s first run for President, I remember reading an article in Time or Newsweek in which Biden described taking a walk along the seashore and mingling with the normal people. He described having “his people” walk behind him with notepads, taking notes on the concerns and needs expressed. It sounded like a prince, very proud of himself for shaking hands with the unwashed. The pompous image has stuck with me ever since. This man was a celebrity at a much younger age than Obama, and I suspect one never outgrows that pedestal.

#7: “The Democratic party – the gift that keeps on giving.”

Actually, Leah, the Democratic Party is the gift that keeps on taking.

I have to say his inability to shut up drives me up the wall. But thereâ€™s also an appealing lack of guile to the man; he wears his flaws like his hair-plugs – out and proud.

Count on Andi to trot out the left-wing conventional wisdom. Count on Ace to shred it.

Need I remind anyone that for months the left has been DaVinci Codebreaking every John McCain advertisement for so-called “coded racism.” And they were not praising such “coded racism” as “refreshing” or charming in the least.

Rather the opposite.

But when Joe Biden is genuinely, pleasantly surprised that an African-American manages to wash himself on occasion, it’s a good thing! It just shows, I guess, that he’s “relatable” to all those Racist Older White voters. I guess the idea is that Joe Biden can make the case, “Hey, I’m as surprised as you all are to be running with a darkie. But I have to tell you — he’s one of the ‘good ones,’ like Cosby or Byron Allen. He’s like the new, family-friendly Ice Cube, not the old, angry Ice Cube that your daughter would date to get back at you for not buying her that Mini Cooper she wanted.”

Brilliant.

McCain’s “stealth racism” appeals to our lizard brains, while Joe Biden’s open racism appeals to our higher selves.

Oh, that’s easy, LCRW. “BUSH LIED!!!(tm)”

But not that I think people, or at least swing voters, will buy it. The underlying message is one of fecklessness. “Biden was duped by Bush.” It’s a self-incriminating tactic.

How is the Obama campaign going to spin the fact that Joe Biden voted to authorize the Iraq War?

As Markos himself said in 2007:

"It's clear [Biden's] career has dragged on one election cycle too many."

Heh. Let's see how the Kos Kidz spin this one.

Did you see that Joe Biden lives on a “compound”? What is that exactly? I know the Kennedys all have compounds, but is it an eastern thing, an economic thing, an elitist thing?
